Finance Essentials for Creatives

Many people working in the creative sector didn’t choose this path in order to crunch numbers, but financial clarity & confidence is what keeps your practice sustainable. Join our one-day Finance Essentials intensive designed specifically for creative professionals.

From working confidently with spreadsheets and pivot tables to building a realistic cash management plan, we’re stripping away the fear & mystery in dealing with numbers and money. You’ll leave with strategies for setting your rates and negotiating contracts; tools to manage and streamline your financial management; and a clear grasp of balance sheets, taxes, and other (currently) scary things. (You will also learn how the costs of training are tax deductible!)

Course content includes:

The Dreamer: Costing yourself sustainably
Strategies to separate personal from biz finances
Business forecasting tools – cash flow forecasting
Personal budgeting tools
Tracking longer term financial planning (‘The Balance Sheet’)
A 101 list of resources that can help

Embedded within this is the concept of ‘raking the zen garden’ – keeping on top of it and habit forming, and a DIY ethos of ‘learn to spreadsheet’ and build the tools you need.

The course will be accompanied by a robust info pack, full of free/low budget tools & resources to support your growth.

The cost can be spread via a pay later option at checkout.
